Great Rivers Park

Description

Hoffman Gardens was named in honor of Godfrey’s first mayor, Lars Hoffman. This gem of a park is located on the byway just north of Alton on Illinois Route 100. A pull-off at the park provides visitors with a peaceful retreat to view the river, migrating birds and the geological formations of the bluffs. At night, landscape lighting illuminates the bluffs, accentuating the textured ridges at the surface, exposing rock formations dating back thousands of years.
